One Flower Wednesday - Week 8

1. Set the timer for 15 minutes and work on something you really enjoy

until the timer rings. Once the timer rings, reset the timer for 15 minutes.

2. This time work on something you do not enjoy...laundry, sweeping,

cleaning...etc. When the timer rings, reset for 15 minutes.

3. Begin a another task that needs to be done....dishes, yardwork, etc.

When the timer rings, reset for 15 minutes.

4. Find another task around the house that needs to be done...

meal preparation, empty dishwasher, etc. When the timer rings,

reset for 15 minutes.

5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until you finish the tasks that need

to be completed.

By using this system, you spend 15 minutes of every hour working on something you really enjoy. It makes the time spent doing the less favorable tasks more tolerable because you know there is a break coming soon. In my opinion, we often dred tasks that can be finished in a few minutes. Would you believe it only takes 4 minutes to empty the dishwasher! Seriously!

I find your colours very calming. I will try your idea of the timer. I myself tried something similar eons ago and it did work. It was a bit different in that I sewed while I waited for the potatoes to cook, etc.www.quiltsampler.blogspot.com
